Sir Robert PEEPS Heir.

from IOnUON Lie
netcy is not beginning his career early. Young
Robert, son to the late member and grandson of
the great statesmen, nephew, too, to the speaker
OF the House OF Commons, is not yet twenty. and
he has already been brought before the Vice Chan
cellor,s Court at oxford, charged with wfirufiy
breaking In q college window and threatening q
superintendent OF police. Dr.. Beliamy fined the
young man two guineas, and told him that his
conduct was ungentbenanly. But one cannot help
remark1ng upon the difference between the TEN
permanent and character Of the great SIR Robert
and OF his descendant. Sir Robert Peers dignity
all hts life WAS almost priggishness and he wan az
sef-restratned ia his early days as later. He was
no more capable Of breaking q window than Of
making rOwdy speech In late years In the house
OF commons HIS successor in the bArOnetcy Is OF
the very type which he barely tolerated.

The Russian Peasant.

Church festivals, marriages, chris
Jennings, burials and fairs leave only
200 days in the year for the Russian
laborer. The climate is so severe as
to prevent out-of-door work for
months, and the enforced idleness in.

whether the man be peasant, soldier,
clerk, sailor, priest, merchant, seig-

Crimean war it was always believed.
that the Russian soldier could only be
driven up to an attack, such as that
OF Inkerman, under the influence of in
toxication. The Russian peasant is
indeed a barbarian at a very low stage
of civilization. In the Crimean hospi-
tails every nationality was to be found
among the patients, and the Russian
soldier was considered far the lowest
OF all. Stolid, stupid, hard, he never
showed any gratitude for any amount
Of care and attention, or seemed, in
deed, to understand them; and there
was no doubt that during the war he
continually put the wounded to death

Here is a story said to be a true one.
At any rate it is good enough to be
true: It was at Liverpool docks. A
party OF American tourists were about
to take the steamer for home. AS
they sailed along the gangway to the
tenders deck one of the three paused
in the centre, and stretching out his
encountered hands, dramatically ad.
dressed the surrounding scenery eff

An Eccentric Western Character

Henry Clay Dean, who died at his
home in Putnam county, Missouri,
was probably one of the most eccen-
trio characters in the West. A few
years ago, when he erected a new
dwelling, most of the house was built
in Missouri and the rest of it in Iowa;
but as Missouri had the largest part.
he claimed that state at his home.
For q number of years he had been g.
delegate to the Democratic national
Iowa. He never failed to attract at
tention in these bodies by his eccen-
trio ways. A writer in the New York
Star says:
He claimed to be q afarmer, although
he also practiced law, but, above all
things, he was student. Hewas con-
sidered an eminent scholar in his part
of the country, and had a very fine
library OF rare works. He probably
had the bitterest tongue of any man
in the West, and he never was so hap
py as when abusing some one or some
thing. Probably his most marked
feature was his dirty habits. 1t is, an
actual fact that he would go at least
six months without changing his shirt,
and he was as frequently referred to,
as "dirty shirt" Dean as by his, proper
name. he had a very strong face, full
OF character and determination, and,
with q certain charm of manner, So
that his habits did not bury his at
tractiveness. He was in some respects
miser. He would stay in, one of
these little towns at the leading hotel,
and always manage not to pay any
board. He would insist to the land
lord that he was an attraction to the
house, and therefore, should not be
expected to pay anything. I remem-
ber meeting him once in Ottunwa,
Iowa. Everybody there knew him
and considered him one Of the STRONG
est men in debate they had ever
heard. It was very difficult then to
get him into a discussion, and if he
did not feel called upon to speak no
amount of persuasion could induce
him.

Roach Remembered Him.
, the Milwaukee Sentinel.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
An intimate friend Of John Roach
told this of him at the time of his as
signment: cat twenty-five he had
wife and two children. At this time
he was q slight slip OF a fellow and did
not weigh much over 120 pounds. He
became i'll and was confined to his bed
until all of his moderate savings were
gone. One night, when there was
scarcely a penny IN the house, the
physician came to see him, and after
examining him said; John Roach, you
should know the truth. You must
die. Your lungs are hopelessly affect.
ed. I tell you this so that if you can
make any provision for your wife and
children you willyet have time Roach
was in despair He saw absolutely no
hope for him in the future. He did
not fear death, but the thought OF
leaving his wife and children to des.
titute, poverty y-stricken life pierced
him to the heart. He prayed all night
that he might live. In the night
vision came to him. It seemed as i
he were looking directly into heaven,
and from that abode of happiness
came promise to him that he would
live. The next day a. fellow-workmen
came to see him. The workman was
going West.
''He came to see John Roach, he
thought, for the last time. He bent
over him and kissed him goodbye be-
fore he went away. After his depart
ure John Roach found that he had
LETT under his pillow his weeks wages
IN the very envelope given at the
works. John Roach did not die.
With the modest help of,his friend he
got astart. Thirty three years after he
was walking down Broadway when he
saw the back of a plainly dressed man
whose figure seemed familiar to Tim.
He was moved by some spirit or de-
sire to speak to this man. He stop
ped him and said: I do not know
your name, but ought to know it.
What is it?' The man gave it. It was
the name OF the workman who had
befriended him on his dying bed: Said
Roach; DO you know me?' No I am
John Roach, was his reply, the ship
builder Yes, l have heard of you in
the newspapers. But you must excuse
me, [ have in hand very pressing
matter of business wait a moment
said Mr.. Roach. Did you ever know
another John .Roach?' Yes, but he
died some thirty odd years ago. No,
he didn't; l am that same John
Roach was the shipbuilder's reply
''Ihe man was very much aston
ished, but he again made move to
pass on, AS he was pressed for time.
But Mr.. Roach made him stop and
tell what his business was. He found
that his friend had small house and
shop in Brooklyn. 1t was to be sold
under the hammer to redeem q mort
gage at ~ o'clock that day. It was
IL o'clock. The man was hurrying
to see the sheriff to ask him if he
could not'put of the sale littlelonger.
Mr.. Roach said to him: l know
that sheriff well. You will lose no
time stopping with me- He dragged
him into a restaurant. where they
had hurried IunLh. During the stay
in this place Mr.. Roach made out a
check for the full amount of the mort
gage. He then took his old friend in
a carriage and they reached the sher-
ifs office in time to redeem the prop
erty. One of the sons OF Mr.. Roach
afterward married daughter of his
old friend"
